IWCA Two Year Colleges Talk Time--February 2012 Online Conference
Writing Centers in the 2-Year College: A Free On-line Talk-Time Conference
February 2012
Monday the 6th through Friday the 10th
Two-year college writing centers are distinct for many reasons: institutional missions, student bodies, administrative expectations, faculty involvement, and funding priorities. This live, interactive, on-line conference will amplify our voices in the discussions about writing center work, without the fees or travel expenses of traditional conferences. Presenters are encouraged to focus on one of five areas:
- Addressing diverse student populations
- Facilitating successful tutoring sessions
- Assessment and research
- Incorporating technology
- Peer tutoring in the 2-year college
Conference Schedule
Note: Elluminate rooms will be open for admission 30 minutes before each session. All sessions are free and open to everyone. Click on the underlined link at the top of each day to join a session. The same link gives access to all presentations on that day.
